Calishat'The bill ... would dramatically expand compost requirements for businesses in the five boroughs by mandating almost every business that serves or sells food to separate their food waste.'
rooftopjaxx@info OK then, something a little slower and more considered for you. Still brief though coz - amongst many other irons in the fire - it's seed sowing and planting out season in addition to all the usual #composting activites. (¿Bonus point for hashtag use?)
We've been round the houses with all of this too many times but just to agree with what @cedric said the other day. To put it more harshly still, isn't keeping up with your stuff and that expectation of having done 'the reading' sometimes a bit like entering into the discouse with someone who demands that you've already read all three volumes of Das Kapital before they'll entertain you?

Takako 🐀So, during the last growing season, I’ve put some garden waste (deadheaded comfrey, weeds, etc) into an empty garden soil bag, folded the top, and left it in my plot.
Today, I turned the content upside down by putting it into another bag. I’m pleased to find that the bottom half is composted into rich soil! 🤗
Maybe I’m onto an easy composting method using two soil bags (or I was lucky this time).
Scott P ✅That’s very cool. Most “compostable” products just create confusion and headaches for composters and recyclers. Compostable “plastic” is typically neither compostable (locally) or recyclable. The only upside is that it’s not made from fossil fuels, but it usually goes to landfill.

shoninwhat to do with leaves
What to do with leaves, if one cannot leave them
Here beneath aspen, gum, maple and birch
As what they become in winter, a kind of skirt
To warm and feed fanned roots, is gather and
Toss them on a garden. She spreads hers
Over bed and path alike, with straw, with
Dead grass and weeds, barn bedding, the contents
Of kitchen bucket and tumble barrel, along
With any foliage that comes to hand, even prunings
If too small to bother with for her iron stove.
This is for worms and all their small companions
Heaving aside the earth of path and bed alike,
Leveling and loosening, making untilled tilth.
Evening comes and she stills, listening
As the city of humus thrums toward spring.
Very likely it's best to interfere not
Even this much in things, she tells herself, yet
She's always loved to tell her children: eat.

Evaluation of bokashi fermentation leachate as a biofertilizer in urban horticulture – inorganic plant nutrient content in bokashi leachate and its effect as a fertilizer on pak choi
My goal is zero waste / smell-free composting, so it's not an issue for me that bokashi leachate seems to be low in nitrogen.
I will likely use the leachate as a drain cleaner.

BroadforkHot compost Day 6. Turned the hot compost for a second time into a taller, narrower pile. It was just over 40°C/104F when I left it.
It will be left to continue to heat up and then to gradually cool down. When it drops below 27°C/80F the worms will move in and start to do their magic.
This pile will be weed free potting compost for use next spring.#Compost #Composting #SolarPunkSunday
